Am I the only one on the planet that does not work for Ubuntu that
actually likes Unity? I'm old, not sure about old timer Linux has been
my primary and almost exclusive work environment since 97.

I work with it because I believe I will have to adapt, or become a
dinosaur. Shucks, is there something wrong with Gnome 2 interfaces. I
think not.

Not to start an argument here Leslie, but I think you missed the
point of the ZD article.
They are not talking about the death of Linux on the desktops but
rather the death of the "distribution" concept.
His logic is that nowadays, people do not care if they using
RedHat, Ubuntu, SuSE or whatever, but they care about what their
desktop looks like, i.e., GNOME vs KDE vs XFCE vs whatever.
His analysis used Android, which is both a distribution and a
desktop environment at this point, and comparing it to the new
Mozilla project and how these two are not compatible.
His point is this, if I am using a Phone running *Linux*, whatever
this Linux is, it should not matter if I am running Android or
Gecko, which is exactly what *most* distros are at this point: It
does not matter which distro you are using, GNOME looks more or
less the same, and you have approximately the same kind of
applications.
I am not saying I agree, I just wanted to clarify his POV as I
understood it.
